through their troubles?

QUOTATION: Talent isnt genius, and no amount of energy can make
it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I wont be a commonplace dauber,
so I dont intend to try any more.

QUOTATION: Rome took all the vanity out of me; for after seeing the wonders
there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes
in despair.

QUOTATION: Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say
No when they mean Yes, and drive a man out of his wits for the fun of
it.

in Little Women, pt. 2, ch. 12 (1869).

QUOTATION: People dont have fortunes left them in that style nowadays;
men have to work and women to marry for money. Its a dreadfully
unjust world.

Little Women, pt. 1, ch. 15 (1868).

QUOTATION: Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger
that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the
consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and
the great charm of all power is modesty.
